familiar….? (Revised)

04 Monday Jan 2021


We still have this lovely bowl with the three round glass feet. So unique. And if memory serves us correctly, it was very reasonably acquired. Our secret:  we always doubled our retail selling price. It’s a common retail practice, but we must admit we priced this beauty – not based on price but on “value.” It was our way of preserving an item we personally valued as “priceless.”  It never sold. Lucky….for us.

SOLD – Decanter, Pressed Glass, Circa. 1940

19 Saturday Dec 2015

SOLD today on etsy.com at ContessasHome. It’s all good.

7″ x 4″ x 2″, a lovely size for sherry. Very ornate pressed glass. Check out the detail in our pics. We love these small Decanters. Have you filled a larger decanter with your favorite cordial, only to discover later that you need to move it to a smaller vessel. How many times will it take to discover that cordials are prettier in petite container. This one is just adorable. Stopper is just ever so slightly dinged. Nevertheless less we think worth it’s price. Enjoy!
